12″ 1.33 GHz iBook G4 (Mid 2005)

In July 2005, the iBook got a small speed boost (11% – from 1.2 GHz to 1.33 GHz), twice as much stock memory (512 MB vs. 256 MB), added Bluetooth 2.0 as a standard feature, and received improved video with ATI Radeon 9550 graphics with the same 32 MB of video RAM as the Late 2004 iBook G4. Also new to the Mid 2005 iBook is Apple’s scrolling trackpad.
